I welcome all fans to craft, today we will consider how to make model airplane using. The model turned out to be experimental, it flies poorly due to the fact that the author did not calculate the center of gravity, but homemade demonstrates the capabilities of the 775 motor. These engines are characterized by high torque, as well as high speeds. Of course, the weight of such a motor is too big for an airplane model, but it can very well be compensated by the power of the motor, if the center of gravity is properly organized. The 775 motor can be powered from voltage from 12 to 24V, the higher the voltage and current, the higher the motor power. If you are interested in the project, I propose to study it in more detail!
Materials and tools used by the author:
Material List:
- ;
- electronics for radio control;
- two servomotors;
- batteries (need 12V voltage);
- air propeller;
- ceiling tiles;
- carbon fiber rods;
- paint.
Tool List:
- soldering iron;
- ruler;
- stationery knife;
- glue gun.
Homemade manufacturing process:
Step one. Making a wing
The wing of the model is solid, as a basis you will need a long strip of ceiling tiles or other similar material. The author’s wing is curved in the upper part, due to which lifting force must be created. Inside the wing is hollow, you will need to make jumpers in the form of semicircles from the ceiling to then bend the wing properly. As glue, you can use hot glue.
Of course, if you make such a wing only from ceiling tiles, it will not be rigid and will break. To increase the structural strength, the author installed carbon fiber rods in the wing, this material is light and durable.
Step Two Fuselage and tail
The fuselage is also glued with a glue gun from the ceiling tiles. We lay carbon rods along the fuselage to obtain good rigidity and reliability of the structure. When the fuselage is ready, glue the wing to it using an adhesive gun. Of course, it is better to use another glue, which can be applied in a thin layer, hot glue will weigh a lot.
Step Three Engine and Electronics
We install our 775 engine in the bow; the author has a special plastic bracket for it. We fasten fasteners into the fuselage using hot glue. That's all, we fasten the motor with screws, it is also important to make ventilation windows so that the motor can cool.
We connect the speed regulator and the radio to the motor, we fix everything inside the fuselage. We also place batteries. It is extremely important to place all the components so that the center of gravity is somewhere in the wing area. Otherwise, the plane will either fall nose down, or will tumble backward, as the author did.
Step Four Rudders
The steering wheel, as well as the elevator are located in the rear. We make steering wheels from two-layer ceiling tiles, and you can fix them articulated with adhesive tape. We connect levers to the rudders, which will then be connected to servomotors. As leverage fit bicycle spokes. All the necessary plastic joints from the author were already available.
Step Five Final touches and assembly
At the end, the author painted homemade spray cans. If you apply several layers of paint and varnish, you get a streamlined durable coating that will increase the rigidity of the material.
Well, then it remains to fix all the electronics inside. The author also made primitive wheels so that the plane had at least some support.
You can test the model, first the plane took off from the author like a rocket, vertically up. As a result of several launches, the author managed to maintain the course of the aircraft for some time. Of course, the home-made was done without knowledge in the field of modeling, therefore it plans like an ax, but then we saw that the 775 motor is capable of this. The project is finished, I hope you liked the home-made, and you found useful thoughts for yourself. Good luck and creative inspiration, if you decide to repeat this. Do not forget to share your ideas and homemade things with us!
